Power was out for 11,000 customers in Quincy and the Lake Almanor area for a while Wednesday due to smoke in transmission lines, according to PG&E spokesman Paul Moreno.

Rock and debris rolled onto Caribou Road overnight, but Caltrans crews cleared it so fire crews could continue to hold the fire west of the road, officials said.

Residents of the Lake Almanor area are being encouraged to register their cellphones with the Plumas County Sheriff's Office for warnings on the Chips Fire.

The Plumas County Emergency Notification System is like a reverse 9-1-1 system, which will send out emergency messages to residents.

Landline home numbers are already in the system.

A voluntary evacuation notice distributed Monday by Plumas County Sheriff's Office remained in effect Wednesday for Canyon Dam, Big Meadows, Rocky Point Campground, and a sheriff's advisement for planning for evacuation for Prattville, Almanor, West Almanor and east shore residents on Highway 147.

Residents on Highway 70 between Tobin and Twain are still in evacuation planning stages. Crews are patrolling the Highway 70 corridor.

A number of campground and trail closures are in effect. The High Lakes Off Highway Vehicle Area is closed.

Fire officials are stressing that there is no danger to Magalia, Paradise or Concow.

Because of all the fires burning, the Butte County Air Quality Management District says the air will be very unhealthy in Concow and Yankee Hill, and unhealthy in Paradise. It's unhealthy for sensitive groups in Forest Ranch, and moderate in Chico, Gridley and Oroville.
